THE STORY
When I was working at a festival in 2018, I decided to offer glitter styling to my clients, inspired by the Coachella festival. But when I read an article in the New York Times that plastic glitter was a big environmental problem, I got a bit of a shock! I hadn’t thought before that glitter is made of plastic!
Fortunately, I discovered Bioglitter , which nobody had heard of at the time. Bioglitter is only sold in bulk by the manufacturer, so I had to use all my savings to be able to buy kilos of bioglitter in lots of different colors and sizes. I then sat night after night after my son had gone to bed (because of course I had other work during the day) and mixed and tested until I was satisfied with my glitter mixtures.
The glitter was a super hit at the Stavern Festival and it turned out that many people wanted to buy it home. I got to work: come up with a cool brand name, got a logo made, hired a graphic designer, found suitable packaging and printed labels. This again led to opening an online store, and more and more work piled on.
I did all the work myself in the beginning as a side hustle. This business was literally born on my kitchen table, and during busy periods I had to get help from my mother to pack goods in the evenings and at weekends. Glitter Eco Lovers is not just a job for me, it’s a second child.
Today still over 99% of glitter manufactured is made of plastic, and this fact only makes me even more eager to build Glitter Eco Lovers into an international brand.
